Falter Now

Waking up to the sound of traffic

Headlights flicker through the room

And here comes that heavy scent from a night well spent

And for a moment I felt safe

We're all shells from battles never won

Shallow eyes lit by the sun

We're done

Breath the night into our lungs

Autumn air and loaded guns

We're done

Rainfall washes the ground clean

People crowding around the boy

Gunned down on these innocent streets

Face pressed towards the concrete

We're all shells from battles never won

Shallow eyes lit by the sun

We're done

Breath the night into our lungs

Autumn air and loaded guns

We're done

I take a walk outside to clear my lungs

To clear my head with cigarettes and open air

One two three and the sky is crashing down on me

The atmosphere of a graveyard

A sunken ship

A battlefield

I can feel it if I concentrate

I swear

One two three and the sky is crashing down on me
